Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Haysi, VA.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting alcohol and drugs, and you could make the decision to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Haysi offers medically managed detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make detoxification more comfortable, using prescription medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. Someone quitting alcohol for example may need particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. Someone who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to take part in medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but typically not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For someone who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be a quick and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehab center to work on their addiction due to the fact that detox is not actual rehabilitation in itself.
